I've been testing Rend(and using it since patch 1.0.4) and there is definately something up with multiple applications of the skill. Until someone can point me to a blue post i will believe what i see with my own eyes.
I always believed that once Rend was applied, there's no point using it again till you saw the bleed icon removed from above the mobs head, well thats what pretty much everyone believes right?
So, i went up to a single mob, applied Rend to a mob i knew i wouldnt kill outright and did nothing else but let the mob bleed, mob lived, had around half life left. Went and found the same mob, applied Rend 3 times(ran out of Fury) and the speed at which the mob bled out was noticable, the mob also died. Is it possible that there may be a bug with Rend, that its not "stacking" damage per se but putting on multiple timers. It wouldnt surprise me, buggy game is buggy after all.
Your helm, gloves and bracers are screaming out for some crit chance. If you havent got alot of gold youre going to lose dexterity, dont even sweat it.
Upgrade your ammy when youre flush with gold and as nice as your hellion xbow is, 45% crit damage is very low. Definately prepare yourself to lose some weapon dps to pick up another with more crit damage and a socket(so even more crit damage) unless you have the coin to spend.
64k DPS without sharpshooter, 2000+ dexterity and youre a noob needing help?! o.O
Looking at your gear all i can suggest to you is that you should get some crit damage on your rings and you could get a better amulet. The crit damage on it is fine but you could at least have crit hit chance or attack speed(preferably the former) on it.
You can also squeeze more crit out of your quiver if you wanted to
Im glad theyre nerfing it. I tried it once and didnt like it. Seemed wrong and i agree with Blizzard, Discipline should be used to get you out of trouble not putting you into the middle of it. DHs are a ranged class remember, we should be kiting mobs not running at them.
